Help us improve street safety in SoMa

Transportation Authority staff are working to improve street safety at 10 intersections in the South of Market neighborhood where freeway on- or off-ramps meet city streets. All of these intersections are in San Francisco's Vision Zero high-injury network, locations in the city that have disproportionate numbers of traffic injuries and fatalities.

Do you walk, bike, take transit, or drive through SoMa?Our project team wants to hear about challenges you face in these intersections and ideas you’d like us to explore as we conduct this study.

TRANSPORTATION 2045 TASK FORCE PROPOSES REVENUE OPTIONS

In early 2017, San Francisco Mayor Edwin M. Lee and the Board of Supervisors jointly announced the creation of a Transportation 2045 Task Force, to identify transportation funding needs and explore the potential for new local transportation revenue measures from now through the year 2045.

Meeting over the course of seven months, and building on the work of San Francisco’s transportation agencies, the T2045 Task Force developed a menu of options that could help close the transportation funding gap.

Task Force members were selected to represent a broad range of neighborhood, business, civic and advocacy interests along with city and regional agencies, to provide their perspectives on San Francisco’ transportation system’s needs and potential local revenue sources. While the process often highlighted differences of opinion among Task Force members, the unifying theme was a recognition that it is imperative today to identify and advance solutions to these funding shortfalls if we wish to ensure a continued vibrant and sustainable city into the future.

Transportation Authority 2017 Annual Report

REGIONAL MEASURE 3 PLACED ON JUNE BALLOT

To help solve the Bay Area's growing congestion problems, local officials have prepared a new ballot measure that would increase tolls on the region's seven state-owned toll bridges for the first time since 2010. Senate Bill 595 was passed by the Legislature and signed into law by Gov. Brown last fall.

Regional Measure 3 will be on the June 2018 ballot.

If approved by a majority of voters in Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Solano and Sonoma counties, revenues from a toll increase of up to $3 would be used to finance a $4.45 billion slate of highway and transit improvements in the toll bridge corridors and their approach routes.

Repaving San Francisco streets with funding from Senate Bill 1

The San Francisco County Transportation Authority board recently dedicated $6 million in state funds to support critically-needed street repaving projects. This funding comes from Senate Bill 1, and will be matched with $6 million from San Francisco's half-cent sales tax for transportation.

San Francisco Public works will use these funds, along with an additional $8.6 million from Senate Bill 1, for street improvements in neighborhoods spanning from the Sunset to Twin Peaks to Visitacion Valley. Improvements include repairs to the road base, paving work, curb ramp construction, and sidewalk upgrades. View a project map.

San Francisco Public Works maintains more than 900 miles of streets and roadways. Funding to maintain these roads comes from numerous sources, including the Road Repaving and Street Safety bond passed in 2011, the City’s half-cent sales tax for transportation, state funds such as California’s Senate Bill 1, and more.

Transportation Authority sells $248.25M in bonds

The Transportation Authority has announced the sale of $248.25 million in sales tax revenue bonds to advance major projects citywide.

As the transportation sales tax administrator for San Francisco, the Transportation Authority typically disburses funds on an ongoing basis from its sales tax revenues, with occasional use of short-term financing to meet the program’s capital needs. But with expenditures from transit agencies and other City departments anticipated to peak in coming years due to planned major investments, we decided to issue our first long-term bond to meet the higher cash needs. This allows project delivery and benefits to the public to be realized sooner than would otherwise be possible. Read more

Welcome to the San Francisco County Transportation Authority

Created in 1989, the Transportation Authority is responsible for long-range transportation planning for the city, and it analyzes, designs and funds improvements for San Francisco's roadway and public transportation networks. The Transportation Authority administers and oversees the delivery of the Prop K half-cent local transportation sales tax program. It also serves as the designated Congestion Management Agency (CMA) for San Francisco under state law, and acts as the San Francisco Program Manager for grants from the Transportation Fund for Clean Air (TFCA). The Transportation Authority was designated Treasure Island Mobility Management Agency (TIMMA) in 2014, charged with planning for sustainable mobility on Treasure Island, coordinating new ferry and regional bus service, on-island shuttle, bike share, and car share opportunities.

See the Quick Links to our projects and studies at the bottom of this page.

The Transportation Authority works with San Francisco residents, transit providers and other government agencies to plan, fund and deliver critical transportation projects and programs citywide. Check the video to see what we're all about.

The NTIP was developed in response to mobility and equity analysis findings from the San Francisco Transportation Plan (SFTP), the city’s 30-year blueprint guiding transportation investment in San Francisco, and the Transportation Authority Board's desire for more focus on neighborhoods, especially on Communities of Concern and other underserved neighborhoods.

The SFTP found that walking, biking and transit reliability initiatives are important ways to address socio-economic and geographic inequities.

The NTIP is made possible by the Transportation Authority through grants from San Francisco's half-cent sales tax for transportation.
